Michaela POV - two days later

The bell rings and I stand up, heading to lunch.

I walk into the hallway and see Ms. Sanchez heading towards me.

"Hey Michaela, how we doing today?" She asks.

I shrug and look down.

"There's someone in my office to see you." She continues.

I look down and nod.

'Probably another police officer.'

I close my locker and she stops me.

I flinch and she softens, "You want to go get your lunch?"

I sigh and shake my head.

"Okay. I have snacks if you want."

I follow her slowly to her office and continue to stare at the floor.

"I thought that you'd be more excited to see me."

My head snaps up and I see Alex sitting there.

I feel a smile come across my face and look down.

"I brought lunch. I heard that you like pizza." She says.

"Alright, I'm going to grab my lunch." Ms. Sanchez says.

"Pizza smells really good, Michaela." She continues and walks out.

I sigh.

"Heard you stayed at school yesterday, that's good."

I bite my lip and nod.

"And that you've been instead hanging out in here." She says.

I shrug and nod.

"All of the paperwork is done and sent to Carrie so we're hoping we will be good to go when I get back in two weeks." She says.

I glance up and nod.

"Still not up for talking?" She asks.

I sigh and shake my head.

"Can I tell you about training?" She asks and takes a bite of pizza.

I look up and nod.

"Okay, so we did footvolley. My partner was Ali. Krieger. You know who she is?" She asks.

I nod.

"Anyways, it was crazy. Ali had to like do a dive header and we won." She says.

I look up and stare at the pizza.

She notices and puts a slice on a plate, walking over and setting it near me.

"We play these little games to have fun, break up the tough training, bond as a team." She continues talking.

I look at the pizza and pick it up, inspecting it, and taking a bite.

"It's good, huh?"

I look down and nod.

"I'm leaving for Philadelphia tomorrow." She says.

"You ever been?" She asks.

I shake my head.

"You been out of Florida?"

I sigh and shake my head.

"Serv and I will take you. Anywhere you want to go and we will go." She says.

I shrug.

"Did Carrie talk to you about Amelia and Bennett?" She sighs.

I sigh and bite my lip then nod.
